Rapper Badshah and Punjabi actor Isha Rikhi have reportedly announced their separation just five months after getting married. The couple shared identical statements on their respective Instagram Stories, confirming that they have mutually decided to go their separate ways.
In their joint statement, Badshah and Isha said that the decision was made with mutual respect and understanding. They also requested people and the media to respect their privacy as they begin a new chapter of their lives separately.
The statement read, “Badshah and Isha have mutually decided to part ways and move forward on separate paths. This decision has been made with respect and understanding, and we kindly request everyone to respect our privacy during this time.”
The couple had reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony and had chosen to keep their relationship away from the spotlight. They did not share many details about their personal life publicly, although they occasionally gave fans glimpses of their relationship on social media.
Their separation comes after months of speculation surrounding their relationship. On July 26, Isha shared a montage of pictures and videos along with a caption that read, “Every show me the lesson everywhere is a hope,” which also included references to heartbreak. The post later gained attention following the couple’s separation announcement.
After announcing their decision to part ways, Badshah and Isha also appeared to have taken steps to distance themselves from each other on social media. Isha deleted several pictures and posts featuring Badshah from her Instagram account and reportedly stopped following him. Badshah also removed posts connected to their relationship, further indicating that both are now choosing to move forward separately.
Badshah’s Professional Life Continues Amid Personal Changes
The separation announcement came at a time when Badshah was also celebrating a new milestone in his music career. On August 31, just hours after sharing the news about his personal life, the rapper released his first Marathi hip-hop track, “Chimna.”

The song combines Badshah’s signature hip-hop sound with elements of Maharashtrian folk music. The track is presented as a tribute to Maharashtra’s rich cultural heritage and is dedicated to his Maharashtrian fans.
Talking about his Marathi debut, Badshah said that India’s regional music is a “gold mine” and that he wanted to celebrate every corner of the country. He described “Chimna” as his love letter to Maharashtra’s rich creative culture and expressed gratitude for being able to work on the project.
The song features playback singer Divya Kumar and Marathi folk artist Nagesh Morwekar. Its music video was shot in Kolhapur, showcasing the region’s local flavours, landscapes and everyday life.
The video also features Marathi actor Neha Khan, who brings her own energy to the vibrant track. Through its music and visuals, “Chimna” attempts to blend contemporary hip-hop with traditional Marathi sounds and cultural elements.
Isha Rikhi Chooses Privacy After Separation
While Badshah has continued with his professional commitments, Isha appears to be keeping a low profile following the separation announcement. Her decision to remove relationship-related posts and distance herself from Badshah on social media has caught the attention of fans.
The couple’s decision to separate has also led to discussions online, particularly because they had kept their marriage largely private. However, their joint statement makes it clear that the decision was mutual and that both want to move forward respectfully.
For now, Badshah is focusing on his music career, including his Marathi debut, while Isha is reportedly choosing to step away from the public discussion surrounding their relationship.
The couple has requested privacy during this period, and their statement suggests that they intend to handle their separation with dignity and mutual respect.
